Another Saturday has come and gone, and with it another weekend’s worth of College Football Playoff carnage. And, for at least one conference, a couple of those results may have just cost them one of the four coveted spots at year’s end.

Here are the three most pressing questions heading into the second CFP rankings Tuesday night:

1. Just how bleak is the Playoff picture for the Big Ten?

Wisconsin is now the league’s best Playoff hope after both Ohio State and Penn State suffered their second losses. The selection committee has penalized the Badgers thus far — putting them at No. 9 a week ago — because they have no truly impressive wins against a weak strength of schedule. No Big Ten team made it into the top four last week, and none will be in there tonight, either.

But how far away from the Playoff is an undefeated Wisconsin team right now? And is there any wiggle room, or will the Badgers need to stay perfect? There will at least be some hints to the answers tonight. An important piece to all of this will be the bottom of the top 25; Wisconsin would really benefit if its next two opponents, Iowa and Michigan, sneak in there.

2. Which team is the best team in the ACC?

It’s a good question. Unbeaten Miami won over at least a few doubters with its beatdown of Virginia Tech on Saturday night, but Clemson beat yet another tough opponent in a tough game, hanging on to take out N.C. State and reach 8-1.

The Tigers were six spots ahead of Miami in last week’s rankings, and it will be interesting how much ground the Hurricanes make up after the Big Ten’s disastrous weekend wipes out a couple top-seven teams. Maybe the committee takes a little bit of a wait-and-see approach with Miami, who hosts Notre Dame on Saturday in a game that should give the committee a great deal of clarity.

3. Will the committee care about Oklahoma’s (lack of) defense?

On Saturday, the Sooners and Cowboys combined for 114 points and 1,446 yards of offense — with 52 of those points and 661 yards accounted for by Oklahoma State. Yes, the Big 12 truly plays a different style of football than other leagues, and this kind of offensive explosion can happen often. And, yes, Baker Mayfield vs. Mason Rudolph is a simply sensational matchup that should result in some outlier outputs for even elite defenses (which these are not).

But we don’t know how the committee will view Oklahoma. The eye test and what individual members consider the qualities that make a great team matter. And some may not love what they’re seeing.
